Bracing single line expressions is something I constantly agonize
over.  
I'm always thinking may as well brace it because I may want to add
more 
to this if clause. That's one of the reasons I like python is because

it's relatively painless to make sure that your blocks are closed 
properly, especially when you aren't using a decent IDE.
